I have to start off by saying that I am having trouble finding the words to explain this sneak peek – I will follow that up with the fact that I often have a tough time blogging as writing does not come naturally to me! Anyway I do my best… This session will go down as one of my favourites. This client originally inquired about my services in the spring as she and her husband were adopting a baby and she wanted to make sure she liked me and she also wanted to make sure that I would be able to accommodate her on short notice. Well, fortunately she liked me and yes, of course, I make it work so that I could accommodate her on short notice (the call came this Saturday and I was there Monday and yes, there is already a sneak peek). I apologize to the families still waiting for a sneak peek:). It is always an amazing experience to be able to capture a new life but it is particularly special when the parents have had to wait so long for something they wanted so much. This little boy is so blessed to have arrived into a home where he is so loved. That love just oozes from the pictures. This experience on top of my own baby turning 3 a few days ago and my son going off to kindergarten made me very thoughtful on Monday. A and P congratulations and thank you very much for allowing me to capture this awesome time in your lives.

Is there anything better than that? I know I certainly love to be on the giving side of them! This is another one of my annual clients. I have had the great pleasure of doing family portraits for this client each year. And obviously they get my style and realize that traditional family portrait is not what I strive for. I want to capture your relationships and these guys always make my job easy! G & S it was great to see you again! E & S are adorable and an absolute pleasure!

I just wanted to follow up this morning with an update on “Comments for the Cure” last week. I received about 50 comments between what was posted on my blog and received through email. I have doubled this and donated to the CIBC Run for the Cure to kick it off. Thank you for all of your comments and kicking the new blog off. I am planning on doing another day of Comments at the end of September once the new blog has returned to regular traffic levels. Oh, I figured out the Subscribe by Email button this weekend so if you are interested in receiving information on my blog posts (without having to check back all of the time), please subscribe here. More soon!

This final “Comment for the Cure” post is going out a little late today. I got distracted taking my children to the Science Centre this morning (always a favourite place to go!). I wanted to give mom and dad of this little one a sneak peek before they head out on vacation and I wanted to give you one more opportunity to comment over the weekend. I will have another “Comment for the Cure” week in September.

This little guy is about 3 and a half months old. And although there are a lot of ages that I love, this stage is particularly near and dear to my heart. The “signature” picture that I use on the entrance to my website and on my business cards is of my son at this age. I love the interaction, the rolls, the drool, the toothless grins, finding their toes,… We ended up playing him right out and were able to capture him zonked out! I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend (despite the weather that we are having in Calgary).

So thrilled when we were able to capture the unique way he sucks his thumb!
